DNC hammers Republican-backed 'mob rule' [calls anyone opposing Obamacare "rabid extremists"]
CNN - Political Ticker / DNC ^ | 2009-08-04

WASHINGTON (CNN) — The Democratic National Committee released a sharply-worded statement Tuesday accusing Republicans of colluding with "K Street Lobbyists" to incite "angry mobs" of extremists to disrupt health care town halls in congressional districts around the country.

Full statement as released by DNC spokesman Brad Woodhouse:

The Republicans and their allied groups – desperate after losing two consecutive elections and every major policy fight on Capitol Hill – are inciting angry mobs of a small number of rabid right wing extremists funded by K Street Lobbyists to disrupt thoughtful discussions about the future of health care in America taking place in Congressional Districts across the country.
...these mobs of extremists are not interested in having a thoughtful discussion about the issues – but like some Republican leaders have said – they are interested in ‘breaking’ the President and destroying his Presidency...
The right wing extremists’ use of things like devil horns on pictures of our elected officials, hanging members of Congress in effigy, breathlessly questioning the President's citizenship and the use of Nazi SS symbols and the like just shows how outside of the mainstream the Republican Party and their allies are...

...next 0bama will come after me for not using spell check

That's funny you say that because I just wrote this on another thread:

"Off topic: I love how my Firefox browser that I just downloaded has a spell check that claims "Obama" is an unknown word but that "Drudge" isn't."

Weird, huh?

Ah. Self-identification.

Pure. Projection.

I wonder how long it will be until Obama and Rahm unleash the Black Panther / ACORN terrorist thugs to do some head bangin’ at the town hall meetings...you know it’s gonna happen the media is pushing it

That's why we need to go to these town halls WITH a camera. As everyone can see in the last few days, even a video with the most basic capabilities can be gold when it comes to live events.

“Healthers”

Control the wording.

Keep repeating that word. I suggest every conservative use it.

Calling average Americans “extremists” every time the complain about bad social policy is really making Obama look like an idiot. In order to get elected, you have to find lots of people who like you. Fewer people seem to like Obama as the weeks go by. The guy is a political idiot!

DeMint, Bachmann, and a few others are the only ones worth keeping.

“Tell me who you’re with and I’ll tell you who you are”

That was an old saying translated from Spanish to English. When applied to Democrats, it does not bode well for them, especially Obama.

I’m a rabid extremist because I don’t think the crack heads in Washington should control health care? Ok I can live with that.

First They Came for the Jews

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
Pastor Martin Niemöller

Community and individuality are not opposites. People cannot survive on their own. When the odds are stacked against you, you must rally with the oppressed and hated.

When a growing oppressive regime is taking hold, you must act, otherwise you will soon face your enemy alone and hopeless.

Strength of community is a strength as much as individualism, as long you are willing to face weaknesses in your own community. Ignoring slacking values will mean that you will be rallied against by those you oppress.

Niemöller affirms we must rally against unhealthy organized regimes. We must also stay vigilant with those that appear to be good natured, as all organisation attracts corruption. Niemöller also warns us that if it is you who are corrupt, then you will face a stronger combined force of foe!

just shows how outside of the mainstream the Republican Party and their allies are...

Yeah, Well "The One" is just a lying, chimpy, Bushitler war-criminal.

And the RATs are nothing more than a bunch of wealth-stealing, authoritarian, control-freak, baby and grandma-killing Nazis.

By the way, the definition of "Democratic" is mob rule.
